Diatomaceous Earth For Plants and Soil

Plants

Diatomaceous Earth for control of aphids, white fly, beetles, caterpillars, mites, leaf hoppers, and others.

Use Diatomaceous Earth inside your home, greenhouse or outdoors on fruits, vegetables, flowers, grains and grass, up to and including day of harvest.

For dry application of Diatomaceous Earth, use a duster and cover entire plant, apply to both top and bottom of leaf. For young plants, as little as 20 KG per acre may be adequate.

For larger plants, 60 KG per acre is generally sufficient.

Diatomaceous Earth will need reapplication after a rain. Applies best when there is dew or after a light rain.

DE is a long lasting, effective powder and insects can not build up resistance.

Soil:

Dig Diatomaceous Earth in the soil to improve soil structure and provide calcium.

Diatomaceous Earth helps improve the stem structure of plants and over all health of plants.

Healthy soils means healthy plants, which in turn gives you healthy livestock.

Vegetables will be healthier and stronger and more resistant to pest.
